The Russian military shelled the Znob-Novhorodske and Seredyna-Buda communities in northern Sumy Oblast close to the Russian border on Dec. 10, Sumy Oblast Governor Dmytro Zhyvytskyi wrote in a Telegram post.

Russian forces fired at the communities with mortars and heavy artillery, hitting an area where a funeral procession was happening, Zhyvytskyi said.

Earlier on Dec. 10, Zhyvytsky reported that a Russian missile strike a day prior on the Velykopysarivska community in Sumy Oblast damaged 20 homes and other civilian infrastructure.

Or it could be their usual negligent attitude toward their own people. In any case, we also identify these bodies," Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said.
